Every winter in the Hamptons, locals live in the shadow of the summer people's empty mansions. When one of those mansions erupts in flames, tensions rise with the smoke, and five families struggle to protect their own. Lives and dreams hang in the balance, and secrets flourish in this mysterious and keenly observed whodunit. Written by Laura Neill and directed by Avital Shira, Winter People is a BU New Play Initiative production, produced by Boston Playwrights' Theatre and the Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre.
